Yes, if an account consistently downvotes far more than upvotes they should receive even less mod points. We need to mod up what is good or important, not downvote what we don't like. This promotes more discussion instead of burying comments.
You would want a computer to use those sensors when a human using them would fare far better? Of course not, if the computer can't beat a human using the same sensors then it is simply not as capable. We can display information from these sensors quite effectively in a human friendly format. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing you never wrote any computer vision code yourself, or even are familiar with the difficulties involved.
Pop on over to Reddit where The Donald subreddit has gone nuts banning long time posters as the mods rage against anyone and everyone. It's a slugfest of deleted posts and reposts, gun nuts against conservative zealots, people calling trump obama, it's a grade A gilded shitstorm.
Where do you draw the line when we also value freedom of speech? People like Alex jones are nucking futs but pulling down a channel like that only makes it worse by lending credibility and showing its worthy of attention. I completely disagree with nearly anything out of that mans mouth but banning him from YouTube is something I would not be ok with. If people can't tell reality from fiction then the problem is worse than the internet police can address.
Funny you should revive this when we have had a teacher shoot up the classroom. Who would have thought giving permission to carry guns into schools where we pay teachers crap and they have a very stressful time isn't a good idea?
Who said this, specifically? Why are you simply making stuff up
You suggested that each teacher be trained as an air martial, a salary triple that of a teacher. Asking someone to take a job that pays 1/3 less is against free market principles. On the other hand all trump wants is 130 hours total training once ever, that's not long enough to develop beyond beginner gun safety and skill.
Maybe you live in Texas where it is just fine to murder someone if they are on your land. In the other 49 states if you kill an intruder, murder charges will fly. They will use every excuse possible to paint the defensive home owner as a criminal, the chance of facing a particular flavor of murder charge is very high, even if it's just manslaughter. If they can't convict the homeowner they will start throwing murder charges at whoever was with the perpetrator or even slap murder charges on an unsuspecting driver who just got them there. You are also an idiot to think it's as simple as setting down a gun as I would be forced to kill the suspect beforehand to ensure a better chance of living through it - simply holding a gun on them is extremely likely in me being murdered by the police. What you can't seem to understand is that killing someone with a gun is rarely going to go well for anyone, i certainly don't agree with this, as far as I'm concerned if someone is in my house I will fucking brutally incapacitate them then start cutting off their genitals, also probably remove thier eyes. Perhaps I'd just cut the tendons in thier legs and arms. Either way it is going to be a sad fucking day for them Every fucking day of the rest of thier now shortened life. That's what I would like as I believe if you physically threaten someone you forefit your life. The courts don't see it thus way though and convict people just trying to defend themselves every day.
Did Russia interfere in the election? Almost assuredly yes, however if you look at Mueller's indictments of people and companies it becomes clear they were just a Russian troll farm geared at creating a marketable advertising pipeline to specific profitable groups of people. It was basically done not so much to sow discord, but that sowing discord is profitable and they monitized it. Despicable, probably illegal, but it's doubtful it influenced the election at all. No information about the alleged DNC hack (some of the time stamps on the downloaded files imply a high bandwidth consistent with a USB drive and not a typical internet connection, also the NSA who monitors all of the backbone has nothing to say publically - please correct me if I'm wrong on this) and nothing to show the voter rolls being hacked, nor the phishing attacks on officials nor the attempted actual hacking of the voting machines themselves. This does not smell right, it's as if the arrests are unrelated but are being used to muddy the waters.
I personally hate trump, but I do see he has a few (very few) positives. For example even trump can see that the NSA surveilence on his political campaign is a sham. Don't get me wrong, I think carter page should be looked into, just like manifort. My issue is the NSA uses two hops, including through a corporation, so by getting a FISA warrant on page, one of his remote contacts works at google so the next hop is off to half a billion people per day - you me and the rest of the world are included. Then they go on a witch hunt and start parallel construction. 99.9% of politicans and CEOs are corrupt in some way, the 0.1% that aren't can have evidence simply fabricated. The selective enforcement using this completely unconstitutional process is what is creating a deep state of a few wealthy individuals and corporations that own the whole government. Personally I believe trump couldn't collude with his own right hand to wipe his ass, but has laundered Russian mafia/oligarch money as well as other foreign cirminals, if trump exposes this and we get some fundamental rights and control of our government back it would be a massive and unexpected win.
Russia is important but it is being used as a distraction to keep us from focusing on the real and far more important problems facing the nation. If you aren't familiar with William Binney I suggest watching this video as it is fucking mind blowing to me. If you can't stand Dore (he has been calling democrats out on the more bullshit smears of trump lately) take a few minutes to see what Binney has to say. I'm pretty sure the more tech savvy readers here will see how much sense his statements make.
Yes net neutrality is very important but the repeal, along with the erosion of rights and the rising inequality are symptoms of a much larger problem - unlimited and often secret money in politics. Our representives don't represent anyone but thier large donors, that is why thinks like universal background checks have 97% approval rating (republican and democrat and even gun owners agree) but we get nowhere. It's why companies are allowed monopolies, like ISPs, and in the case where there are two in a city they collude to create monopolies anyway and aren't held accountable. It's why the USA pays nearly double the healthcare costs of any other nation and yet our lifespan is 31st in the world, 5 spots lower than Slovenia. It's why corporations are people with more rights than actual humans. It's why people say democrats and republicans are the same (because in this respect they now are).
We are well and truly fucked if we don't get the money out. If you take corporate dough, you gotta go.
For one, a computer isn't better than a human until it can beat a human using equivelant sensors. Two, if organisms can do a far superior job with far inferior sensing, we have a long long way to go before we are competent at weak AI.
People that think autonomous driving is easy and nearly solved, in serious development for less than 20 years, not only are completely unaware of the magnitude of the complexity involved, but are also unaware of the entirety of computer vision difficulties going back to the 80s. It's kind of insane when you think about it, navigating the world on shitty sensors with poor bandwidth and a million Rube Goldberg tweaks but doing it nearly flawlessly with no effort has pretty much been every mobile organism for at least 1 billion years. Call me when a humanoid android with no data connection to the outside world can pilot a regular car we have today (automatic is fine) with a shitty low res color stereo camera only in its head(eyes), dual 6 axis accelerometer/gyros (inner ears) and tactile/haptic sensing (touch). Then I'll believe a machine can outdrive a human.
Don't be absurd, computers can't make mistakes! Obviously they don't need a license or insurance, you just forfeit all your finnancial assets in a crash because you were sitting in it wrong. The company can't be blamed, it's not like a company could be considered a person and the individuals in it were just following orders./s
Im waiting on the first fatality in a so called self driving car that is a mistake a computer would make that almost no human would - that ought to really inspire early adoption of the technology. It wouldn't even matter if it's 1000x safer than a human, people will freak out like the moral dilemma of should the vehicle purposely crash and injure or kill the passengers to avoid a larger perceived loss of life/personal injury. An analogous example is the tesla crash where supposedly the color of the trailer too closely matched the sky, but in a vehicle that is fully autonomous.
I hereby demonstrate my complete lack of understanding slashdot readers by linking to the full article on arxiv It's kind of an interesting mathematical exercise in the physics of charged black holes under various conditions but obviously does not reflect reality. For example, you would need a large positive cosmological constant, and an extreme ratio of charge to mass for this to be relevant. Further the clickbait headline implies some kind of retroactive erasure of the onserver when in reality it just means you can't reconstruct the past from future observations due to a breakdown in how the math works. This may not even be true at all because we know that general relativity does not fully describe spacetime at the extremes found at the surface horizons of black holes anyway.
You can buy stolen iPhone phones dirt cheap (often for on a few dollars on older models), the all important stolen logic boards are damn near free. It's basically only worth stripping it down and selling the parts individually. But, If it was as simple as a 10 minute software upgrade, you could make Coke dealer money in no time selling unlocked iPhones as long as you were the only one doing it. Of course carrier lockouts are another matter but bypassing an iCloud lock would be extremely profitable.
Yes the conservative thing is do what you want, but not the finnancial conservatives- saying people will willingly and en masse willingly take a far lower paying job is the exact opposite of free market principles. Trump himself has said 20% of all teachers which would bring the total to 700k additional guns, tens of thousands of times more than what we have. The NRA loves this because it is a half billion dollar gun purchase. He isn't advocating any additional training beyond basic gun skills and already required permiting or authority at all. Yes it is murder. If someone breaks into my house, and I fire on them and kill them I will be brought up on murder charges. maybe I get off, maybe not but either way it will financially ruin my family. Note this is not a belief, but a simple fact of the legal system. Sure I'd murder them, but I fully realize I'll likely be sacrificeing not only my own life but the financialand emotional stability of my family. Plus the cops are just as likely to murder me if I'm even holding a gun as anyone who isn't in a blue uniform is fair game to be shot if it could even possibly be construed as a weapon. I'd point out I'm white, it's far worse for people who look like the poor or minorities.

Afaik meta moderation only affects that post; not future moderation points.
I was silently hoping slashdot wasn't dying also. Been viewing stuff here about 17 years now.
Also not a bad idea.
You whippersnappers and your new fangled breakers. Why back in my day I had to put a 1 inch bolt in the fuse holder.

I also forgot to add that this is taxation without representation, something the founders of the country felt strongly about.

If I wanted to watch listless, toned down documentaries I'd still be watching house of cards. I think I'll skip this one and keep watching Fox News.
